The review will be published after it has gone to Government. As I said earlier - I do not know if the Deputy was here at the time - I have not received the review because it is not complete; that is my advice. When I get it, I will study it. I will then have to take it to my colleagues in Government. No decisions have been made about this year's budget but protecting the incomes of people who have a disability is important and the money spent has increased.

The numbers applying for invalidity pension, like for other benefits, has increased.
